Hyperacusis Acoustic Shield: Sound Therapy for Sensitive Ears

Hyperacusis (decreased sound tolerance) occurs when normal environmental sounds feel uncomfortably loud or painful. Complete silence often worsens sensitivity by causing the auditory brainstem to turn up its internal gain. Audiology habituation therapy recommends listening to continuous, low-volume broadband pink noise or natural soundscapes to gently recalibrate central auditory sensitivity. AuralRelief (myearshurt.me) provides 48 soft, non-intrusive soundscapes with precision volume controls to help rebuild acoustic comfort.
